Re: Faster Movie Releases ... spread the word

Good luck with the film. I bought the DVD as soon as it came out and loved it. I have watched it three times already. It made me an instant MotoGP fan.

I'll be seeing the Chicago screening at Century Theater as well. Good venue.

Do yourself a favor and see the film. Unless you flat-out don't like racing or sport bikes you'll really enjoy the movie.



There are great moments on and off the track between Rossi and Biaggi. The "pushing" incident at the (I believe) 2001 Suzuka GP is highlighted. Commentary from Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Rainey is great not to mention the excellent race footage of the two. Following Gary 'the slide king" McCoy is downright sad at times but he is involved in one of the funniest moments in the movie when talking with an apparently very emotional fan.



Skip all the normal motorcycle movie crap put out by the Hollywood big budgets and check out Faster for the real deal.

I hear you. I thought there was to much crash focus in the first half. More race footage would have been better. But, what I thought made up for it was the riders expressing themselves on what it's like to race MotoGP. Just like you said, Rossi describing his first ride on a 500 was cool. The interview with Rossi and Biaggi right after they had their little fisticuff in the stairwell was the best.



What are some of the other videos you mentioned? Might like to rent/buy them.
